Harold Bloom - How to Read and Why1

[RoathRipper]

His has the jaded, lugubrious countenance of a mafia-rolled poker player who just bubbled-out of a marathon high-stakes game.

When bloom dies, literature will have been thought about in the right way for the last time.

I feel so bad for Bloom--he knows he is at the end of a great and rich life and he still loves it so much, you can see him lamenting his impending future all over his face. But that is poetry.

YouTube needs more Bloom vids ;)!

[ZachClooney]

@hanshotfirst1138 Thumbs up to your comment. YouTube does need more Harold Bloom videos. I could listen to him talk about literature all day. It was because of Bloom that I decided to study Literature at university for four years. Thank you Harold Bloom. (We know he won't be spending any time on the net!)

Bloom Brontosaurus lol I always thought of him as a giant bookworm. But seriously, this interview is great. Thanks for sharing.

I have sat and talked with Bloom Brontosaurus sitting in that same chair, in that huge house in New Haven.

Sweet, fortunate days of Mays past.

[WaleedRahman]

@MegaGum1 You're very fortunate. I should be content to listen from an adjacent room.

Is this interviewer one of the humanoids that Bloom is alluding to?

[WaleedRahman]

@twilightzonicstars Ha, Ha, yeah he is like an agent from the Matrix movie.... I really needed a laugh tonight. Thanks.

Also, I just wanted to ask you if it is possible for you to upload the 2nd part of this video? I watched every part but I noticed that the video in between the first and third videos is missing? It was unfortunate, because I was really getting into what he was saying at the end of the first video. Thanks again for the uploads. =)

[WaleedRahman]

@xo4ty I just put it up, Bro. Enjoy!

[Strattonus]

I was searching for this too. Thanks!

[WaleedRahman]

@Strattonus Sure! 

[xo4ty]

[WaleedRahman]
